Sabaton release lyric video for ‘The Red Baron’

SABATON have released a brand new music video!

The video, for new single The Red Baron, is taken from the Swedish heavy metal band’s upcoming album The Great War, which is scheduled for release in July.

Speaking about the track, bassist Pär Sundstöm says, “to not include the story of Manfred von Richthofen, AKA ”The Red Baron” on a concept album of The Great War felt really strange. And since we are aiming higher than before in every way, we are proud to present this single from our upcoming album today”

Watch the official lyric video for The Red Baron here: 

The band’s upcoming ninth album coincides with the band’s 20th anniversary, and is a concept album based on the events during the First World War.

The band started the recordings exactly 100 years after the end of the First World War (11/11/1918) and took three months of intensive work to complete the album together with their long term producer and partner Jonas Kjellgren at Black Lounge studios. The album was mastered by Maor Appelbaum and the artwork was created by Peter Sallaí.
